Starboard Side Construction.
 
Im Currently working on the starboard side of the ship at the moment.
Simply Placing platforms that hold anti-aircraft cannons and the stack which bends out of the side of the ship. Also 4 large supports which will hold the front of the flight deck:up:

So you are gona paint it after you finish it.;)

Herr_Pete 10-19-08 06:43 PM

I am. I have tried painting before assembly and i very much prefer assembling the ship first then painting. I just find it easier:D

Port Side and Supports of the Flight feck have all been glued to the ship now.

So far it has been a rather enjoyable build. Every piece has fitted perfectly. Only problem, if you can call it a problem is the flash. Isn't much of a barrier though:lol:

Next will be the super structure of the carrier and assembly of the planes :up:
